You can always simply book at the prevailing amount and never check again, if the amount being asked is OK by you. I constantly recheck my car rentals up until the time I cant change it any longer. On recent trip to MIA I checked upon arrival and it was $20 less so I CXed the old and rebooked. I didnt have to recheck and many times it doesnt result in asavings
This is ridiculous. Hilton has already been toying with 72 hour requirements for cancellations because of the (perceived by management) high rate of cancellations. Let's all just imagine what is going to happen to cancellation requirements if people actually start acting like this.
